One evening after work, I still had the opportunity to take care of the plants in front of the house, noticing some foster children who were learning to draw maps, as well as coloring. Spattered rain always accompanies in every afternoon this rainy season.
When the hand is a little soily dirt, ... sounds tek tek ... tekek .. tek ... the sound of meatballs pushers pass. While wiping the sweat ..., I stopped the meatballs and ordered a few bowls of meatballs after asking the children, who wants to
meatballs?
"Wanna ... ", simultaneously and compactly my foster children
replied.
Finished eating meatballs, then I paid it. ...
There was one thing that tickled my mind during my time
paying for it, the meatballs man split the money he received. One is kept in the drawer, one to the wallet, the other to a tin-like can of some sort kencleng. Then I ask about my curiosity all this time.
"If may know, why the money - money is separated? Perhaps there is a purpose? "" Yes sir, has been separating this money during a meatball builder that has lasted nearly 17 years. The goal is simple, just wants to separate what belongs to Emang, which is the rights of others / places of worship, and which is the right goal of the perfection of faith ".
"I mean .. ..?", I continued to ask.
"Yes sir, religion and God encourage us to share with others. Emang divide 3, with the division as follows:
Money coming into the wallet, which means to meet the needs of everyday life and family Emang.
Money that goes into the drawer, meaning for infaq / alms, or to carry out the Qurban worship. And alhamdulillah for 17 years as a meatballs man, Emang always follow qurban a goat, although the goats are medium size only.
Money that goes to kencleng, because emang want to perfect the religion that Emang hold is Islam. Islam obliges to its capable people, to perform the pilgrimage. This pilgrimage would cost a lot. So Emang discussed with the wife and wife agree that in every daily income the sale of this meatball, Emang must
set aside some income as savings pilgrimage. And insha Allah for 17 years saving, about 2 more years Emang and wife will perform the pilgrimage.
My heart is so ...... .. very touched to hear that answer. It's a simple answer to that is very noble. Even maybe we who have a little better fate of the emang bakso builders, do not necessarily have thoughts and beautiful plans in life like that. And often take cover behind the inadequate or unlucky.
I continue to ask a few questions, as follows: "Yes indeed good ..., but the pilgrimage is only required for the
capable, including having the ability in cost .... ".
He replied, "That's why sir. Certainly, precisely shame when talking about being able or unable this. Because the definition is capable of not the rights of the RT pack or RW pack, not the right of the Camat or MUI.
The definition of "capable" is a definition in which we are given the freedom to define it ourselves. If we define ourselves as incapable people, then perhaps we will forever become incapable human beings. Conversely, if we define ourselves, "able", then God willing with all authority and authority God will give us ability ".
"Masya Allah ..., an elegant answer from a meatballsman".
